PEEFATOEY NOTE.
With the present volume the first group of Indian Inver-
tebrata included in the present Series is completed. Of
the remaining Lepidopteraj the Butterflies are being fully
described elsewhere, whilst the Tineas,, Tortrices, and a few
other lowly organized forms are not sufficiently known
for a general description to be practicable at present. The
magnitude o£ the work is shown by the fact that the four
volumes of Moths, with the Appendix to the last volume,
contain descriptions of 5618 species regarded as valid,
exclusive of races or subspecies.
The number of Indian Insects and other Invertebrata is
so large, and that of students and collectors of the majority
of the groups so small, that it is very difficult to deal with
most of the orders. I am therefore fortunate in being able
to announce that the next volume (to be published, it
is hoped, early in 1897) will commence the description of
the Hymenoptera, and contain the Bees and Wasps by
Col. C. T. Bingham.

PREFACE.
The Fourth "Volume of the Moths in the ' Fauna of British
India ' deals with the subfamilies^ genera, and species of
Indian Pyralidce.
In the lowest subfamily, the Pyraustince, the least specia-
lized form is Simtsthistis tricolor, with vein 5 of each wing
from the middle of the discocellulars, all the subcostals of the
fore wing from the cell, vein 8 of the hind wing free, and
the palpi porrect with the 3rd joint naked — a combination of
generalized characters which would almost allow this species
to be regarded as the ancestor of the whole family. Almost
all other Pyralidce have veins 8 and 9 of the fore wing
stalked. From Simcethistis the Pyraustince diverge in two
directions — firstly, to forms with porrect triangularly scaled
palpi, the 3rd joint concealed, from low down in which
series originated the Scopariince, with raised tufts of scales
on the fore wing; and, secondly, to forms with upturned
palpi, the 3rd joint long and acuminate. From the lower
Pyraustinte, with porrect palpi and the 3rd joint naked,
arose also the other groups of Pyralidce : —
The Hy drorMmpince with vein 10 of the fore wing stalked
with 8 and 9 :
The PyralincB, with vein 7 stalked with 8 and 9, and vein 8
of the hind wing free ; giving rise to (a) the Endotrichince,
with vein 8 of the hind wing anastomosing with 7, from
which arose the Chrysaugince, with the maxillary palpi
absent ; and (6) the Epipaschiince, with raised tufts of scales
on the fore wing and vein 8 of the hind wing either free or
anastomosing with 7, giving rise to the Phycitince, with vein 7

of the fore wing absent and the median nervure of the
hind wing pectinate ahove: from these again spring the
Anerastiinoe, with the proboscis absent :
The SchcenobiincB, with the proboscis absent :
And the Crambince, with the median nervure of the hind
wdng pectinate above, and the maxillary palpi triangularly
dilated with scales; from this subfamily were developed the
Galleriince, with the maxillary palpi filiform or very shghtly
dilated. (See Phylogeny, p. 1.)
The Appendix contains the additions made to the list of
Indian species since the volumes dealing with the families
to which they belong were published, and is complete up to
date, with the exception of a few species of Geometrida and
Pyralidm described by Mr. Warren, in the ' Annals and
Magazine of Natural History ' and the ' Novitates Zoologicse,^
too late to be included : these will be dealt with in the first
of a series of supplementary papers which I hope to publish
annually in the Proceedings of one of the Scientific Societies,
so as to keep pace with the development of the subject.
There will also be found in the Appendix a number of
corrections which I have been enabled to make whilst
working at the fresh material sent to me from time to time.
All criticisms published or made to me personally have
been carefully considered, and where acceptable the altera-
tions suggested are adopted. I have also corrected, where
necessary, the position assigned to species described by
Mr. Moore in the Atkinson collection, as, by the kindness
of Dr. Staudinger, I have had the opportunity of seeing
the types of the species with which I was unacquainted,^
and there now remain but very few described Indian species
•which I have not examined.
The publication of the present volume brings to a con-
clusion the whole of the original scheme for the work on
Indian Moths, with the addition of the Pyralid subfamilies
Galleriinai, Crambince, Schcenobiincn, Anerastiina, and Phy~
citince, leaving only the Tortrices, Tineas, and Plumes for
future study.
PREFACE.
VU
The Council of the Zoological Society have kindly allowed
me the use of figures 10, 11, and 13 to 33, which appeared in
a paper in the 'Proceedings' for 1895 on the classification of
the Schcenobiince and Crambina ; and the Council of the
Entomological Society have lent me figures 341, 343, 344,
348, 351, 353, 354, 359, 363, 368, 370, 373, 374, 379, 382,
and 387, which appeared in their ''Transactions' for 1895.
I have again to thank all those who have so kindly
assisted me during the progress of the work — both the
Collectors in India, who have liberally supplied me with
specimens and information, and the owners of Collections in
England, who have put the whole of their material freely at
my disposal. The names of most of those who have aided
me have been mentioned in the prefaces to the other three
volumes, and I have also to express my thanks to Surg. -Col.
J, G-. Pilcher in Sikhim and Mr. J. Pole in Ceylon, who
have sent to me valuable collections dming the last - two
years.

like excrescences in the stem and branches of Trema orientalis,
forming galleries in the diseased wood, and pupating in slight
"whitish cocoons. It is uncertain if the larvse are the primary
cause of the excrescences, but the galleries, after being deserted by
■the moths, usually contain colonies of the mealy bug Dactylopius
adonidam, and these in their turn attract a species of ant which
builds a covering over them, the foundation of large nests which
•gradually increase in size and obstruct the growth of the tvee(Green).

white except five or six long black hairs on thoracic somites ; head
buff, marked with brown strife ; a dorsal black mark on 1st somite,
partly hidden by the head-bearing tuft which after the last moult
bears five head-skins. The larva progresses with a jerlcy motion ;
it forms a flap-like cocoon by biting ofl: pieces of rotten wood and
bark and interlacing them with its long hairs which are left pro-
jecting ; before fastening down the flap it rubs its head against
it for a long time, and with much difficulty detaches the tuft and
head-skins and attaches them to the side of the cocoon.
